Objective To investigate the relationship between CD158j expression and phosphorylated ERK (p-ERK) in CD4+ CD28null T cells in cerebral infarction (CI) patients- with carotid atherosclerosis and its effects on carotid atherosclerotic plaque stability. Methods Percentage of peripheral CD4+ CD28null and the expression of CD158j and perform on CD4+ CD28null cells was analyzed with flow cytometry in 106 CI patients with carotid atherosclerosis, 33 CI patients with normal carotid arteries and in 50 normal controls, respectively; p-ERK expression was assayed with flow cytometry in 36 CI patients with unstable plaque, and serum IFN-γ was detected with ELISA. The intima-media thickness (IMT) of bilateral carotid arteries in all subjects was confirmed by the colour Doppler ultrasonograph imagingResults Percentage of the CD4+ CD28null T cells, expression of CD158j and perform on CD4+ CD28null T cells and the serum IFN-γ levels was dramatically higher in CI patients than that in normal controls, respectively (all P <0.01), which was decreased in an order of CI patients with patients with unstable plaque, stable plaque, carotid artery IMT and with normal carotid artery. A strong positive correlation was observed between the CD158j expression and degree of p-ERK in CI patients with unstable plaque (P < 0. 01). Conclusion CD4+ CD28null T cells were significantly increased in CI patients with carotid atherosclerosis. CD158j might up-regulate p-ERK expression and induce the proliferation of the CD4+ CD28nullT cells; consequently, higher cytokine production such as IFN-γ produced by CD4+ CD28null T cells may cause the formation of unstable plaque.

Objective To investigate the bone marrow morphology characteristics in patients with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS)and to evaluate the clinical value of bone marrow morphology examination in the diagnosis of SFTS.Methods The bone marrow morphology and clinical data of six newly diagnosed SFTS patients with positive test of novel bunyavirus infection admitted to Taizhou Hospital from July 2011 to November 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The increased ratio of lymphoid and monocytoid histiocytes (0.02 - 0.23 )and hemophagocytic phenomenon were observed in all of the six patients′ bone marrow smears.Two of the six cases were diagnosed with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)according to the clinical diagnosis criteria and the remaining four cases were defined as highly suspected HLH.Conclusions The progression of SFTS disease might be closely related with HLH induced by novel bunyavirus infection.Morphology examination of bone marrow smear is beneficial for the early differential diagnosis of SFTS.

Objective To investigate the immunological characteristics and clinical significance of reactive plasmacytosis in patients with severe fever with throbocytopenia syndrome (SFTS).Methods Bunyavirus-infected patients who were diagnosed with SFTS were collected from March 2015 to October 2015 in Taizhou Hospital.Morphology analysis of bone marrow and peripheral blood (PB) smear, as well as flow cytometry analysis of plasma cell immune phenotype from peripheral blood were conducted.Serum immunoglobulin levels and helper T hymphocytes (Th)1/Th2 cytokine expressions were detected.Mann-Whitney U test was used.Results PB plasma cells from all of the SFTS patients increased in varying degrees, and the phenotype of the plasma cells was CD19+CD38++CD45+CD138+, which indicated normal mature plasma cells.The ratio of PB plasma cells was >0.030 in 10/16 patients, and >0.300 in 2/16 patients.The ratios of PB plasma cells in the patients with severe and critical groups were significantly higher than that in the mild group (0.052 vs 0.016, P<0.05).Monocytoid histiocytes and hemophagocytes were observed in the BM morphology of 9 patients.Three of them were diagnosed as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).The ratio of plasma cells was more than 0.030 in the bone marrow of 8 patients.The serum levels of interlewkin (IL)-6, IL-10 and interferon (IFN)-γ in acute phase were significantly elevated with the median level of 49.75 ng/L, 26.98 ng/L (reference value 2.6 to 4.9 ng/L) and 17.57 ng/L, respectively.While the levels of IL-2, IL-4 and twmor necrosis fautor(TNF)-α were not significantly changed.The serum IL-6 and IL-10 levels in the patients with severe and critical groups were both significantly higher than those in the mild group (IL-6: 132.36 vs 22.81 ng/L;IL-10: 75.28 vs 6.33 ng/L, both P<0.05), but the difference of IFN-γ level was not significant (P>0.05).The serum IgG, IgA and IgM levels did not increase in acute stage, with the median of 11.6 g/L, 2.56 g/L and 1.60 g/L (reference value 0.46 to 3.04 g/L), respectively.Conclusion The patients with SFTS show excessive humoral and cellular immunity, and the severity of disease is positively correlated with the ratio of peripheral plasma cells and the levels of cytokines IL-6 and IL-10.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of immunophenotyping and clinical significance of MRD analysis in MM patients. Methods Multi-parameter flow cytometry was applied to analyze the immunophenotyping of malignant plasma cells from 172 MM patients, and normal plasma cells from 16 healthy individuals. MRD was analyzed in 32 MM patients with remission. Meanwhile, the effects of MRD status on the disease relapse and patient disease free survival ( DFS ) time was evaluated by following up patients. Results The immunophenotyping of normal plasma cells were CD38, CD138, CD19 and CD45 positive, while the predominant phenotype of MM cells were CD+38( 100.0% ), CD+138( 100.0% ), CD-19 ( 167/172, 97. 1% ), CD+56( 152/172, 88.4% ) and CD-45( 166/172, 96. 5% ). The characteristic markers for MM cells were CD+38, CD-138, CD-19, CD-45 and CD+56. MRD analysis revealed that, among 32 MM patients with remission, 14 patients were MRD negative and 18 patients were MRD positive. During follow-up of 2 to 16 months, the relapse rate in MRD negative patients was significantly lower ( 4/14, 28.6% ) than that of MRD positive patients ( 13/18, 72. 2% ;χ2 =6. 03, P ＜0. 05 ). Furthermore, the DFS time was significantly longer in MRD negative patients[ 16. 23( 10. 37-21.62 )months ] than that of the MRD positive patients [ 10. 07( 3. 79-16. 20 )months,χ2 =7. 53,P ＜0. 05 ]. Conclusions CD+38, CD+138, CD-19, CD-45 and CD+56 are the characteristic markers of MM cells compared to those of the normal plasma cells. MRD analysis is a valuable prognostic factor for MM patients.

Objective To investigate expressions of CDev6 and p-ERK1/2 in AML patients and its clinical significance.Methods Expressions of CD44v6 and p-ERK1/2 on bone marrow blasts in 152 AML patients and 22 normal controls were determined by flow cytometry.Meanwhile,the effects of CD44v6 expression(CD+44v6 and CD-44v6) on relapse rate and survival time were analyzed by following up of 129 AML patients.Results Double positive expressions of CD44v6 and p-ERK1/2 were observed in 4.5%(1/22) of the normal bone marrow blasts while single positive expression of CD44v6 and p-ERK1/2 was observed in 36.2%(55/162) and 64.5%(97/162) of AML patients,respectively.The MFI of p-ERK1/2 expression on blast cells in AML patients was [14(7 -58)],which was higher than that in normal controls [8(6 - 10),U =4.2,P＜0.01].Furthermore,MFI of p-ERK1/2 expression on blast cells in CD+44v6 AML patients was [28(15-61)] ,which was significantly higher than that in CD-44v6 AML patients [18(6- 37),U =6.7,P＜0.01].A strong correlation was obtained between CD44v6 and p-ERK1/2 expression(rs = 0.7,P＜ 0.01).Among 129 patients followed up for 4 to 65 months,the data also revealed that the relapse rate of CD-44v6 AML patients was 32.1%(26/81) ,which was much lower than that in CD44v6 AML patients [81.3%(39/48),x2 = 29.13,P＜ 0.01).And the overall survival in CD44v6 AML patients was(28.5 ± 1.8)months,which was significantly worse than that of CD44v6 AML patients [(51.2±2.0) months,x2 =48.2,P＜ 0.01).Conclusion CD44v6 expression was associated with a poor survival in AML patients,and CD44v6 might promote the expansion of leukemic blast cells by up-regulating p-ERK1/2.

Objective To study the effects of cryopreservation on the immunogenicity of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC).Methods HUVEC were isolated ex vivo and cryopreserved.Lymphocyte stimulation index(SI)was analyzed by MTT in lymphoeyte-endothelial cell co-culture.Both HLA-ABC and HLA-DR antigen expression on fresh or cryopreserved HUVEC,and the effects of IFN-γ treatment on HLA antigen expression in both groups were determined by using flow cytometry.Results No difference in SI was observed between fresh prepared and cryopreserved HUVEC(1.716±0.181 vs 1.686±0.145,P>0.05).The percentage of HLA-ABC expression was(96.6±1.9)%and(96.0±1.4)%in fresh and cryopreserved HUVEC(P>0.05),and the mean intensity for HLA-ABC expression was 84.1±5.7 and 82.4±4.8 in fresh and cryopreserved HUVEC(P>0.05),respectively.However,no HLA-DR expression was observed in both groups.When treated with IFN-γ,HLA-ABC expression was significantly up-regulated,and HLA-DR expression was induced in a dose-dependent manner.No significant difference was found in the HLA-ABC expression between fresh and cryopreserved HUVEC(P>0.05),while the HLA-DR expression in cryopreserved HUVEC was remarkably lower than in fresh HUVEC with the increase of IFN-γ(P<0.01).Conclusion The immunogenicity of HUVEC remains stable by cryopreservation without IFN-γtreatment or treated with low concentration of IFN-γ(≤50 U/ml).However,the HLA-DR expression in HUVEC was remarkably reduced in eryopreserved cells treated with a high concentration of IFN-γ(≥100 U/ml).These data indieated that the effects of cryopreservation on immunogenicity of HUVEC may result from the decreased responses of HLA-DR expression by the stimulation of IFN-γ treatment.
